I would like to see a modular in dark grey leather, a white rug a coffee table to match the timber used in the kitchen then colour dan come in with modern art and accessories

Hi Sue, There are endless possibilities with a room of this size. Try floating shelves to go along with your TV unit or a collage of pictures to help blend in your wall speakers. If wall paper is too much you could consider individual wall stickers to create a swooping flock of sea birds or shoal of fish to carry in the coastal theme. Definitely consider the use of tall vases that you can light up. Pick a theme and work with it but careful not to smother it with too many things. Keep it simple and it'll be nice. I've attached some examples that I've found online, the same images can be view via the below links.

Your kitchen sounds lovely. BUt the location does sounds pretty risky to me. But without knowing the rest of the house plans, or the size of it, I dont want to say you're doing the wrong thing.IN some ways, you are close to answering the door, if you spend much time in the kitchen (like I do) but as that anyone coming in will distract you and possibly get in the way. I hope this helps!

Ok, I see ...one possibility would be to retain the unit as shelving where it is and wall mount the tv on the adjacent wall so that you can optimise seating arrangement. Otherwise I think you are on the right track, a circular rug would work, maybe a couple of mid century chairs might look nice, you could put some trailing plants up high away from your little one, maybe a basket or two to keep toddler clutter in check would go with an eclectic kind of look. If you move to a larger space in the future, mid century chairs would be easy to pair with a couch.. I think try and bring as much storage as you can to keep the space manageable.
